Lee Barczak (PN '69) has dedicated his career to helping individuals achieve financial success through informed decision-making. As the President and Founder of Morgan Kenwood Advisors, LLC, Barczak has built a reputation as a trusted advisor in the field of financial planning.
Barczak's educational journey began at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where he laid the groundwork for his future endeavors. After graduation, he spent seven years as an educator in the Milwaukee Public School System, sharing his passion for knowledge with young minds. Even during this time, Barczak's entrepreneurial spirit was evident, as he simultaneously pursued a career in real estate, working as a realtor and teaching real estate courses.
A growing interest in stocks and mutual funds led Barczak to pivot his professional path. In 1982, he transitioned into the world of financial planning, where he quickly recognized the shortcomings of the traditional investment-centered approach. Determined to create a firm that put client needs first, he founded Morgan Kenwood Advisors, LLC.
Mario (DB ’72) and Cathy Costantini met as students at Marquette University, and after graduation became entrepreneurs at age 23, in both the for-profit and nonprofit worlds.
The Costantinis founded their namesake downtown interior design firm in 1978 and shortly thereafter their rustic furniture company, La Lune Collection, in Milwaukee’s Riverwest neighborhood. There they purchased and renovated an abandoned factory and were instrumental in revitalizing and restoring the Riverwest region.
In the nonprofit sector, they co-founded the Holton Youth Center, the Milwaukee Youth Arts Center, the Mad Hot Ballroom dance program, and the Florentine Opera Center. Independently, they have served on the boards of directors for Holton Youth Center, Danceworks, First Stage Theater, Next Act Theatre, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre, Florentine Opera Company, Milwaukee Public Market, Milwaukee Riverwalk District, Pearls for Teen Girls, and others.

His stage credits are extensive, featuring iconic roles in musicals like Kiss of the Spiderwoman, Les Misérables, and Evita. He has also made a significant impact in the world of film, appearing in notable movies such as Independence Day, Trade, and Material Girls.
With a versatile career that has taken him to Broadway, the West End, and beyond, Anthony Crivello remains a respected and admired figure in the entertainment industry.
David Ferrie (PN '69) is a seasoned Milwaukee actor with a rich theatrical history. A 1969 graduate of Pio Nono High School, Ferrie's passion for the stage was evident early on. He showcased his talent in several prominent musical productions, including Oliver! (as Fagin), South Pacific (as Emil De Beque), and The Man of La Mancha (as Don Quixote).
Ferrie's career has spanned decades, with performances on various stages throughout Milwaukee. While retired from his day job, he continues to grace the stage occasionally and has recently ventured into commercial and film work. His dedication to the arts and his enduring presence in the Milwaukee theater scene have solidified his reputation as a respected and accomplished actor.
